I have few doubts regarding that interpretation of WW.

I just want to keep reminding folks who the NRA REALLY works for.

So that noboby ever gets to believe they are somehow unbiased or actually care about their members, without being reminded.
Clearly the NRA is Biased; if it was not there would be no point to NRA.

If I recall the NRA Members Vote on some of the Leadership; even if it is a choice of the lesser of 2 Evils like the Presidential Election.


As far as the Gun Industry buying political influence welcome to Capitalism; all large Businesses do that.
Of course that does not mean it is right but that is the norm in our Society.

Yes, there should be a law passed that requires ALL organizations to be unbiased in their beliefs!

Did this mean Most Vendors selling Guns were not FFL Holders; or just that most of the Vendoers at the Gun Show were not FFL Holders.

[COLOR=red]Example: I was a Vendor at a Gun Show and I sold Knives and Military Collectable stuff; No Guns for sale and No FFL.

Then the question is did you actually ask all of the Vendors selling Guns if they were FFL Holders or not.

I would think if there any thing but the normal collusions by the NRA with the Gun Industry the News Media would be happy to leap on the Story!

I meant that most of the dealers at the show I was speaking of were not FFL dealers. Perfectly legal in AZ. The answer is: I didn't take a poll. I've been attending the same shows yearly for a quarter of a century or more and know most of the sellers who have tables, either personally or from having done business in the past with them. It's a show that has maybe 50 sellers, held in a small town.
Good job on the UBB code.

I buy or sell a couple of guns every year or so. Damned if I'll ever communicate my activity with the government.

Worse than that I don't know what UBB code is?

Yeah, but then you wouldn't have anything to talk or have opinions about, Larry.
